A seemingly innocent news article today reveals the passing of an institution.  The US Military is sending the only remaining MASH (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) to Pakistan to help with the Earthqake.  The 212 MASH.  The LAST ONE.  It seems that the army has come up with a new animal called a CASH (uh, oh!).  They say that the Combat Army Surgical Hospitals are more responsive than the MASH.  From the results in Iraq, I guess they are right.

But for those of us who lived through the Movie and Episodes of M*A*S*H, it is kind of sad to see that icon being retired.  I guess the Army just could not tolerate the hi-jinks of Hawkeye, BJ and Trapper John any longer.

Farewell, so long, good bye.
